Well, I managed to land a spot at a company called Oregon Processing Solutions. I'll mainly be running co2 extractions, but it may also include some ethanol extractions and maybe even some terpene / cart work. It's really far from home, but I'm happy to have the opportunity. I just hope my car can keep up!

We didn't stop renewing just because we could all of a sudden just buy it in a shop -we stopped renewing because recreational meant we no longer needed to pay all the fees we were paying before just to grow and consume our own. It only meant our plant count etc went down and after doing the math, we realized we could totally live with that.

I didn't know JD is a fellow Oklahoman.
The timeline is interesting. I guess I took my workshop there before any of this happened since I'm pretty sure the first actual model hadn't been made yet.
I remember us talking about how expensive butane is and how cool it would be to be able to recover it and get multiple uses out of it and I remember them saying they were working on a way to do just that.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have attended. It laid the foundation for everything I've ever done involving cannabis extraction.
I wish we could do it again.

Unfortunately looking for work again. Part of me would love to bail on the whole "industry" altogether, but it's what I'm best at. Furthermore, it's all I'm really qualified to do.

I've had a couple of decent runs at a few companies and learned some cool stuff along the way (formulating strain profiles from terpene isolates taught me a lot), but I haven't found a "home" so to speak.

All the people out there making ridiculous money in this industry that don't know a trichome from a tricycle, my knowledge and experience HAS to be valuable to SOMEONE out there.

You could also charge people a smaller fee if they want to do the work themselves or charge them more to have you do the work for them.
I used to think you could also charge them less if they supply their own equipment or more if you supply it for them, but I think it'd just be easier to equip each room with what it needs and know the gear's not dangerous and it's run properly.
I've stewed on this idea for years. I just couldn't ever figure out how to make it work financially with what you'd have to charge people vs what it's worth to them and what they're willing to pay for something like that. I have a few ideas like that. They just jab at ya!
